The result was   speedy deleted because blatant hoaxes are vandalism. And this was a blatant hoax about an alleged Syrian province. ''Though many of the residents of Baniyas are followers of Islam, many Khàtprinçians are followers of a polytheistic religion found only within the province. They worship 3 main 'lords'; Tcid, Sakc, and Romonumj-Haazlkuido.'' Etc. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:20, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

I believe this article to be a hoax. No references. Google searches reveal no sources except those that reference this Wikipedia article. Some obvious jokes lay lower down in the article if you read into it. I am also nominating Khàtprinçian national football team for the same reason (same creator).

 * Delete - I believe you're right about the hoax. Perhaps speedy delete per G3, although it may not be "blatant" enough for that. Definitely delete, though, I'm seeing no verifiable, non-Wikipedia mirror proof of its existence. — GorillaWarfare talk-review me! 13:45, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete both as failing WP:V. Deor (talk) 13:52, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete. This is absolute nonsense. "What Dariush claims was the Imperial Palace of Khàtprinçia is in fact a KFC in Baniyas" and "The Khàtprinçian Symphony Orchestra regularly holds concerts in parks and halls, playing classical pieces and contemporary jazz pieces, along with the greatest hits of Gore Beyond Necropsy." This seems like a pretty blatant hoax to me. Rje (talk) 14:03, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete both articles under G3 as blatant hoaxes. Full of claims such as hallucinogenic spices "found only within the small fishing province," which is a Syrian province named after the English words "Cat" and "Prince" before 1478, and which province has its own dictator (notwithstanding it is part of Syria), who has the only copy of the sacred text of the religion practiced only in the province, where they wear cat skin suits and eat cat soup. Gimme a break. Edison (talk) 14:07, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
